WLAN Data load unload Vehicle IR-Rec Beacon Radio VoIP Data Voice Double radio for large areas Data Voice Radio fixed Operational center Street Supervisor Invest (TETRA/DMR) vs. Operational dependance (GSM) Radio Radio TETRA (big systems) DMR (still awaiting pilot) GSM/GPRS Analog radio disappears Page 4

10 Are your passengers at the right place in the right time? Page 10

11 Not every culture... Page 11

12 counts minutes and seconds... Page 12

13 and I have to admit that... we are not always in a hurry, but... Page 13

14 Passengers view Most of our passengers consider time! Real-time information on travel times is by factors more valuable than merely schedule information Much better to drink a coffee than standing at a bus stop in the rain Information about service interruptions or interrupted connections (alternative routes) Often more than one travel mode will be used One trip for the passenger Assured interconnections are necessary On-line information is necessary Start Trip Destination Passengers travel chain Seite 14

15 Requirement»Common PI (Passenger Info)«Rail operator Bus operator Control center rail Control center bus Position message Schedule adherence Information Prognosis Position Message Rail 6b 6a Bus 7b Priority sign-off Bus PI 7a Priority sign-off Page 15

19 Berlin area: Cross-Agency Connection Protection and Passenger Information Personal passenger info Transit Association Central Data Hub Passenger Information 14 bus, rail and light-rail CAD/AVL systems from 7 On-site passenger info different suppliers 2500 Buses, 600 LRT/Metro, 100 Regional Trains LRT / Metro Different Bus/LRT agencies share one CAD/AVL system Trip planning centrally managed region-wide same look and feel Urban/regional Operators planned - actual data / connections definitions passenger information BLICs contribution Feasibility study/system design Tender docs, Evaluation Project management Page 19

21 Technical solution - examples AVL- light and display layout Smartphones provide basic functions Receive GPS coordinates Send/Receive messages Multiple operators in one display Page 21

22 Operational concept VBB Berlin Operational concept Data management by VBB Data provision from transit authority s by: Interfaces Manual input from data of smaller agencies by VBB Operation: Central data hub by supplier Hacon Internet and Apps by VBB Passenger info via interface to CAD/AVL or direct CAD/AVL operation regional Hardware: Outsoucing to supplier Hacon Page 22

23 Resumée Work in groups you are more powerful Bundle your management power Bundle your budget power Provide unseen service power... in the area s who deserve it... for your passengers who deserve it Page 23

25 More than just the next stop: In-vehicle multifunction displays Page 25

26 We call it a trend The passengers view Regular passenger/commuter Service status (ok, delays, disruptions...) Connections working? Visitor (Business) How to go to hotels, airport, rail station... Validity of arrival times at POI (airport...) Where to go tonight? Visitor (Tourist) Trip proposal to tourist destinations Where to go tonight? Events Requested in nearly every new project! Page 26

27 Information content LCD Screens in vehicle Enhanced next stop information Connection information Newsfeeds Advertisements Weather Page 27

31 Feedback US market I noticed A dominant design/build approach We select a vendor we like and then we order Agency requirements are in second row Innovation not pushed by agency demand; offered by the vendor We don t install just a system with an ITS project Yes, its delivery of hard-/software and installation of IT but... Don t forget to set-up your organisation Don t forget to redfine your data flow Don t forget to adopt your procedures/processes They collect tons of valuable data and don`t use it Pay attention to BI: use the valuable data you collect to improve your organisation Isolated ITS systems kill every agency s efficiency Page 31

32 Feedback US market I noticed RFP s issued by small agencies Projects for around vehicles bare the risk of an oversimplified solution The approach to ticketing Banking card organistions or Telco operators stepping into the field of transit agencies Agencies loosing contact to their customers (Paratransit?) Increasingly difficult to set up ticketing cooperations Loosing flexiblity in changing ticketing policy (event centered ticketing) Passenger information/ trip planning Google powered by transit agency? Cost vs. branding Page 32

33 Thanks a lot for audience Christoph Herzog ch@blic.us Page 33

34 Special thanks to... For allowing us to use their commercial: It s smarter to travel in groups Page 34
